Agree completely. I participated in the public meetings for that plan and there has been little to no follow through. The IHT bridge over Bollinger is nice, but apart from a little green paint not much else has been accomplished.

They’ve been testing these in San Ramon (and continue to test) for three years. The robot is chased by a handler on an e-bike. I’ve had lots of opportunities to ride in proximity to them. Not the worst things I’ve encountered in a bike lane. Agree with you on the social implications.

I wondered the same thing - so I made this:

“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.”

Thanks for standing up and fighting!
